Re: XF 60mm f/2.4 vs. XF 56mm f/1.2

I have the 60 and 35/1.4 and very happy with this combo. I did try the 56 in a store but found it too big and heavy, as well as expensive. The 35 is my walk around lens and I also use it for casual portraits in low light. The 60 I use for close ups of flowers etc and also for daytime portraits.  The 60 tends to hunt for focus in low light, so the 35 is always ready for these situations as I do a lot of street and night photography. I also have the 50-230 for trips to zoos and parks, which I really like and find it has excellent IQ for a plastic lens, and is so light and good for daytime shooting. Here are a few portrait shots with the 60.
